My spouse and I are in our 40's and worked with Mr. Hamilton on our trust. He was so easy to work with, and neither of us are well-versed in this area. He patiently and competently explained everything in detail, and thoroughly answered all of our questions. Mr. Hamilton demonstrates an excellent grasp of California law, and we are so thankful to have worked with him.

I recently had the opportunity to consult with David Hamilton, a lawyer specializing in probate and trust matters, for my family's rather complicated situation involving dual-state probate and the potential need for a special needs trust. David's expertise and guidance were nothing short of exemplary. From the outset, David took the time to understand our unique circumstances. His approach was refreshingly straightforward and practical. He provided advice that was not only insightful but also presented in layman's terms, making the complex legal jargon easily understandable. What truly set David apart was his integrity. Faced with a situation where he could have easily led us down a more complicated and potentially costly path, he instead steered us towards decisions that were most beneficial for our family. His recommendations showed a deep consideration for our specific needs and long-term implications, rather than opting for a one-size-fits-all solution. The level of personal attention and genuine concern David showed was remarkable. He helped us navigate through a challenging time with ease and clarity. His counsel played a pivotal role in making the right decisions for our family's future. I am profoundly grateful for David's help and would highly recommend him to anyone seeking a knowledgeable, honest, and compassionate lawyer in probate and trust matters. His expertise, coupled with a commonsensical approach, truly makes a difference.

David was very knowledgeable about my inquiry. He took the time to review the document, understood the situation, and explained the options very clearly. I would recommend him wholeheartedly.

Thank you for helping me with the request of the courts for legal guardianship and approval of Trust documents and processes. I am so happy with your services and to know you I look forward to working with you on all my future needs as they arise . Best Regards, Ava

Helped me out quickly with my 1st person special needs trust he’s very knowledgeable and he responds to emails in a timely manner. Would recommend him to anyone that needs a trust.

Our family has been associated with David Hamilton for many years. He exudes professionalism, knowledge of the law when dealing with conservative issues and family law. He and his staff have provided direction along with outstanding timely follow through with many issues over the years. David Hamilton has unwavering skill, while at the same time providing personal support. He has demonstrated several times his knowledge of the law, when dealing with other lawyers of opposition. We as a family look forward to interaction in the coming years.

I could not be more pleased with David Hamilton and his Paralegal, Tekisha Carbajal regarding my adult son's Conservatorship. We are new to California and the process of guardianship in Arkansas (where we were from and had been through the process years before) was VERY different. David and Tekisha led us the whole step of the way, were mindful of our costs, treated my son with utmost dignity, and David represented us with total professionalism in the courtroom. There were 8 cases ahead of us that day, all dealing with conservatorship, and not one of the cases resulted in a complete conservatorship that day. I'm so thankful David was there representing us and he and Tekisha were so thorough and communicative at every turn. I have already booked our appt in January to begin the estate planning with a special needs trust. Speaking of TRUST... David is the first attorney I have ever worked with that I can say has gained MY trust. Amy Jamison-Casas

Mr Hamilton was excellent in every way. He was personable and easy to talk to. He was very knowledgeable. He was able to explain complex estate issues in plain English. His staff did great work and followed through. His work was timely. His fees were reasonable. I would highly recommend!

From the beginning, David was very helpful with our families' legal needs as well as advising us in organizing the affairs of our beloved family member and her estate. His personal and compassionate understanding and advice were what we vitally needed to get the new life and care she needed, arranged and on the right track. As time went on his advice and legal skills were a constant and reliable resource that insured we were able to protect and care for our cousin, her health and her wealth. For example, he interacted with the court as it became involved early on, due to her incompetence. He kept a watchful eye out for us (the conservators) our cousin, and the courts to avoid scams and legal missteps. He oversaw the sale of the real property which was a complicated process. In the end, the courts happily approved all our work and granted without hesitation the equitable distribution of the remaining estate funds to the heirs.

David Hamilton provided friendly and professional services! He provided extensive information by explaining and answering all questions about Estate Planning. David made the process extremely easy and stress free. I am recommending everyone to utilize his services if you are looking for a smooth process.

The Sandoval Legacy Group is the best! The professionalism and wealth of knowledge they shared has made this important estate planning process extremely easy and stress free. The staff there, especially Megan Boiling, explained the entire process so well and went above and beyond my expectation - she is a gem. In addition, working with David Hamilton was a very pleasant and stress free meeting. I would recommend this group to everyone looking for professional and friendly services!
